	<p>RED HAT, INC. RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THESE GUIDELINES
	  AT ANY TIME. YOU SHOULD PERIODICALLY CHECK THESE GUIDELINES TO
	  BE SURE THAT YOU ARE IN COMPLIANCE.</p>

	<p>Red Hat, Inc. has a long and distinguished history of being
	  an active contributor to the open source software
	  community. One of the key features of open source software is
	  that anyone has the right to copy, modify and redistribute the
	  software, subject to the terms and conditions of certain
	  license agreements or copyright permissions, such as the GNU
	  General Public License. It is important to understand that,
	  although Red Hat allows third parties to replicate its open
	  source software under the GNU GPL, absent a written agreement
	  or other express permission it does not allow third parties to
	  use its trademarks. For example, absent a trademark license
	  from Red Hat,a party would have the right to copy, modify and
	  sell Red Hat's open source software, but they would have to
	  call it by another name. Red Hat has always been fully
	  supportive of open source rights with regard to copyrights and
	  demonstrates that support by releasing the software we develop
	  under open source licenses. This document is designed to
	  provide guidance on how the software developed and marketed
	  under the <?  print $PROJECT_NAME; ?> may be marketed by
	  others, using Red Hat's <? print $TRADEMARK_NAME; ?>.</p>

	<h2>A Brief Introduction To Copyright And Trademark Law As They
	Relate To Software</h2>

	<p>The guidelines in this document are based on United States
	law. Although many countries follow the same principles
	discussed below, the laws of other countries may also differ on
	some points.</p>
	
	<h2>Copyright</h2>

	<p>Copyright law protects the expression of an idea.
	Fedora&trade; consists of hundreds of software modules, some
	developed by Red Hat and many developed by other members of the
	open source community. Those authors hold the copyrights in the
	modules or code they developed. At the same time, the combined
	body of work that constitutes Fedora&trade; is a collective work
	which has been organized by the Fedora&trade; Project, and the
	Fedora Project holds the copyright in that collective work.
	Fedora Project then permits others to copy, modify and
	redistribute the collective work. To grant this permission the
	Fedora Project usually uses the GNU General Public License
	("GPL") version 2 and the Fedora Project's own End User License
	Agreement. Although software licensed under the GPL is "open
	source software," the Fedora Project retains ownership of the
	copyright in its collective work. If someone violates the GPL
	regarding that collective work, only the Fedora Project, as the
	copyright owner and licensor of that collective work, has legal
	authority to enforce the GPL against the violator. Although the
	Fedora Project "owns" the collective work, in licensing it under
	the GPL, the Fedora Project grants broad rights in the
	collective work to others. Neither the GPL nor the Fedora
	Project's End User License Agreement grant any right to use Red
	Hat's trademarks in the redistribution of the collective
	work.</p>

        <h2>Fedora Trademark Guidelines</h2>
	<h3>Basic Introduction</h3>
	
	<p>Trademarks are used to identify the source of goods and
	  services in the market. Trademark law is best understood as
	  consumer protection law, since it enables consumers of
	  products to know the source of the products they purchase and
	  allows them to distinguish those products from the products of
	  other vendors. This is important in order to ensure that
	  consumers are not fooled into purchasing a product of one
	  company while believing it is a product of another
	  company.</p>
	
	<p>For instance, Heinz&reg; ketchup is a well-known brand of
	  ketchup. If Jones Company decided to make its own ketchup, and
	  was able to market it as Heinz&reg; ketchup, Jones Company
	  would profit in the sale of its ketchup from the customer
	  goodwill established by the owner of the well-known Heinz&reg;
	  brand. Although that might be good for Jones Company, it could
	  be bad for the consumers who purchased the Jones Company
	  ketchup, believing that it was Heinz&reg; ketchup. Such
	  trademark use would be impermissible under applicable
	  law. This is true even though the Jones Company ketchup
	  contains exactly the same ingredients as the Heinz&reg;
	  ketchup.</p>

	<p>A similar situation arises with the trademarks owned by Red
	  Hat. Many consumers have come to trust the Red Hat&reg;
	  branded products and services, and look for a Red Hat brand,
	  including <? print $TRADEMARK_NAME; ?> when they obtain our
	  open source products. As a result, consumers who obtain
	  products that are labeled <? print $TRADEMARK_NAME; ?> or some
	  close variation (see "Use of <? print $BASE_NAME; ?>
	  Trademark") believe that they are the official products of the
	  <? print $PROJECT_NAME; ?>. Consumers often expect that such
	  products will contain features that are available only from
	  the <? print $PROJECT_NAME; ?>. In order to protect consumers,
	  Red Hat has an obligation to ensure that its trademarks are
	  not used to identify the products of other companies or used
	  in any other manner which states or implies an association or
	  sponsorship by Red Hat of other companies' products.</p>

	<h2>Protection of Trademarks</h2>

	<p>Under trademark law, owners of trademarks who use their
	  trademarks improperly or who fail to police the use of their
	  trademarks by others may lose their rights in those
	  trademarks. For instance, now-common words such as "zipper"
	  and "elevator" were trademarks at one time. Their owners
	  allowed the marks to be widely known and used as generic names
	  for the associated products, and, as a result, all trademark
	  protection was lost. Some examples of trademarks that are
	  protected by their owners at great lengths today from such
	  "genericide" include Kleenex&reg; brand facial tissues,
	  Band-Aid&reg; brand bandages and Xerox&reg; brand
	  photocopiers. In addition to monitoring the use of trademarks
	  by others, policing also requires maintaining control over the
	  nature and quality of the goods and services that are marketed
	  under the trademarks.</p>
	
	<p>Red Hat has filed to register the trademark Fedora&trade; in
	  the United States Patent and Trademark Office. We are also
	  seeking registration of the mark in many other countries
	  around the world, have filed applications to register the mark
	  in still other countries, and we will continue to aggressively
	  register our trademarks in countries where we do business.</p>

	<p>Our unregistered trademarks are also protected under
	  trademark law. Unregistered trademarks of Red Hat include,
	  RPM&trade; and Bluecurve&trade;.</p>

        <h1>Fedora Trademark Guidelines</h1>
	<h2>&quot;Fair Use&quot; of Trademarks</h2>
	
	<p>Although a trademark owner should take action to police the
	  use of its trademarks by others, it cannot prevent others from
	  using its trademarks under all circumstances. For instance, a
	  company may refer to the trademarks of competing products in
	  marketing its own products. As an example, Burger King might
	  choose to state in advertisements that "Burger King&reg;
	  french fries were preferred over McDonald's&reg; french fries
	  in a taste test." Although McDonald's&reg; is a trademark of
	  McDonald's Corporation, Burger King could mention it in its
	  marketing in this fashion so long as the statement is truthful
	  and not misleading, does not imply an improper association
	  with or sponsorship by McDonald's and otherwise complies with
	  applicable laws. A key element in evaluating whether the use
	  of someone else's trademark is acceptable is whether the use
	  is likely to cause confusion in the marketplace as to the
	  source or sponsorship of a product. Burger King's use of
	  "McDonald's&reg;" in the statement above is not likely to lead
	  consumers to believe that Burger King&reg; french fries are a
	  product of McDonald's or that Burger King&reg; french fries
	  emanate from or are sponsored or approved by McDonald's
	  Corporation.</p>

        <h1>Fedora Trademark Guidelines</h1> 

	<h2>Use of the Fedora Mark and Other Red Hat Trademarks Which
	Are Included in Fedora</h2>

	<p>One of the purposes of the Fedora Project is to make a
	  cutting-edge version of Linux&reg; widely available in a
	  consistent format that the public can come to trust. In order
	  to achieve this purpose it is important that the technology
	  can quickly be identified and that the recipient knows the
	  technology they are receiving is the official and unmodified
	  version. Red Hat has chosen the Fedora&trade; mark to identify
	  this effort and is granting broad usage rights in that
	  trademark in order to assure widespread availability.</p>

	<p>Companies, governments, schools or individuals who wish to
	  produce CD-ROM and other products that contain the software
	  which the Fedora Project distributes under the Fedora&trade;
	  may do so as long as they follow these guidelines. Except as
	  expressly granted herein or under rights of fair use, no party
	  has a right to use the Fedora&trade; mark in association with
	  the software provided by the Fedora Project. Doing so would
	  cause confusion among the customers who obtain those products,
	  because they may believe they are obtaining a product
	  emanating from or sponsored by the Fedora Project but, in
	  reality, it is a product of another company altogether.</p>
	
	<p>To address this issue, we have developed the following
	  guidelines for the use of the Fedora&trade; trademark and such
	  other Red Hat marks as are included in Fedora&trade;. These
	  guidelines are designed to serve both consumers of Linux-based
	  products, to ensure that they know the source of the products
	  they purchase, and publishers of Linux-based products, so that
	  they can avoid improperly generating confusion in the
	  marketplace.</p>

	<h2>Use of the Brand "Fedora"</h2> 

	<p>Fedora&trade; is a trademark of Red Hat, Inc. and may only be
	  used with Red Hat Inc.'s express permission. Except as
	  provided herein, you may not use "Fedora" or any confusingly
	  similar mark as a trademark for your product, or use "Fedora"
	  in any other manner that might cause confusion in the
	  marketplace, including in advertising, on auction sites, or on
	  software or hardware. Any party wishing to use the
	  Fedora&trade; mark may do so as long as they meet two
	  conditions:</p>

	<ol>
	  <li>They must only use the Fedora&trade; mark in association

	<h2>Publishing And Marketing Fedora&trade; Software That Has
	  Been Modified</h2>
	
	<p>As a licensee under the GPL and other applicable licenses,
	  you may make modifications to the software contained in
	  Fedora&trade; and may market the revised product in accordance
	  with the terms of the copyright licenses. In order to do this,
	  you must follow these guidelines:</p>

	<ol>
	  <li><p>You must comply with all applicable copyright licenses
	      for the software and the trademark guidelines in this
	      document.</p></li>

	  <li><p>You may not name or brand your product "Fedora" or use
	      the Fedora&trade; or Red Hat&reg; trademarks in any way,
	      either on your product or in related advertising. You must
	      use a different trademark for your product that will not
	      cause confusion with the trademarks of Red Hat, will not
	      indicate or imply that your product originates from or is
	      sponsored or approved by Red Hat, and which otherwise
	      complies with applicable trademark laws.</p></li>
	  
	  <li><p>You may not state that your product "contains
	      Fedora&trade;" This would amount to impermissible use of
	      Red Hat's trademarks.</p></li>
	  
	  <li><p>You must modify the files identified as FEDORA-LOGOS
	      and ANACONDA-IMAGES so as to remove all use of images
	      containing the "Fedora" trademark.  Note that mere
	      deletion of these files may corrupt the software.</p></li>
	</ol>
	
	<p>Shipping Fedora&trade; code unmodified from the original
	  download with separate patches that may be applied by the end
	  user at his/her discretion is not a modification of the
	  original code, provided:</p>
	
	<ol type="a">
	  <li><p>The original Fedora&trade; code is intact and
	      identifiable at the time of installation and on the media
	      on which the code is delivered;</p></li>

	  <li><p>The patches are provided independent of the original
	      Fedora&trade; code and are identifiable on the media on
	      which the code is delivered;</p></li>

	  <li><p>The end user is given the discretion as to whether to
	      install the patches; and</p></li>

	  <li><p>Any marketing materials related to such a distribution
	      make clear that the vendor is providing patches which, if
	      installed by the user, will modify the Fedora&trade; code
	      from its original form.</p></li>
